The Avida project has switched to using Git for source code management. The former subversion repository will remain online for reference for some time. However, all new development will now take place in the Git repository. See the Developer’s Guide for more details.
Along with the switch to Git, a mirror of Avida and its sub-projects may now be found at GitHub.
The Avida project has a new public development mailing list, avida-dev@avida.devosoft.org. This list will be used for discussion of ongoing development in Avida. It is open to all those interested and recommended for anyone using the mainline development Avida for research or other purposes. The archives will also be available for review.
Avida 2.12.2 is now available. This version is a maintenance release that primarily fixes a bug in file path handling on Windows that prevented output files from being generated. A binary installer for the Windows curses interface is available, as well as source code packages.
The Avida project now has a blog. News updates regarding Avida development and its use in research and education will be posted here. We will also be adding information about how to use Avida and how to contribute to its development.
